The names of people killed during the mass shooting in Las Vegas last year are projected on the ice during a ceremony before an NHL hockey game between the Vegas Golden Knights and the San Jose Sharks on Saturday in Las Vegas.

(CNN)The Las Vegas Golden Knights final home game of the 2018 season will always be remembered as a special one, but not for the game.

So unbelievably powerful. No player will ever wear the #58 in a Golden Knights uniform. It is officially retired and this banner will now hang in the rafters at T-Mobile Arena. #VegasStrongpic.twitter.com/pKAkIqx6PC

This wasn't the first time the Golden Knights honored the victims. During the opening game in October, first responders to the shooting escorted players onto the ice. Like Saturday's game, the season opener also featured the names of each person killed on ice. A 58-second moment of silence was also held.
